Safeguarding Information

At Westminster Nursery we take safeguarding our children as a high priority. If you have any concerns please speak to a member of staff. 

We are teaching the children about staying safe each day in simple ways such as how to use scissors, walking with an adult, crossing the road etc. We encourage our children to think about ways to stay safe and healthy. We adopt our safeguarding policy from Cheshire East. You can find a copy at the end of this page if you would like more information.

Online Safety Films
The UK Safer Internet Centre has published a blog featuring a series of short films created during lockdown by young people across the UK to inspire their peers to stay safe online and make the most of the internet. This could be a helpful resource for professionals to use to supplement online safety work though can also be directly accessed via parents, carers or young people.
